Kera McKeown and Larisa Sumovskaja caused the carnage at the Trouville Hotel in Priory Road, Bournemouth

Two intoxicated teenagers from Bournemouth have received an unprecedented punishment after wreaking havoc at a seaside hotel last spring.

Kera McKeown and Larisa Sumovskaja, both aged 19, are now prohibited from entering any pub, bar, nightclub or hotel across Britain for the next six months.


The pair caused what prosecutors described as a "trail of destruction" at the Trouville Hotel in Priory Road, Bournemouth, on April 19, 2025.

Staff had asked them to leave after questioning whether they were actually guests at the establishment.

District Judge Orla Austin, presiding at Poole Magistrates' Court, condemned their actions as "disgraceful" while handing down the sweeping nationwide ban.

The order permits entry to licensed premises only for work purposes.

CCTV footage captured the chaos as McKeown, clutching a vodka bottle in one hand and her high heels in the other, used the shoes to bash at a back office door where the receptionist had locked herself for safety.

McKeown spat at the receptionist twice during the confrontation and hurled objects around the reception area.

She threw two flower-filled vases, a computer screen and a telephone, the latter striking a male member of staff on the head.

Sumovskaja picked up a fire extinguisher, reportedly thinking it would be amusing to spray someone with it.

Although she did not discharge it herself, McKeown subsequently threw the extinguisher at hotel workers.

The rampage also saw tables overturned, plant pots smashed and the entire reception area left in ruins.

Judge Austin told the pair they had narrowly escaped imprisonment as she handed down 12-week custodial sentences, suspended for 12 months.

Both women were ordered to pay £350 in compensation to the receptionists and the hotel for the damage caused.

"What happened here was frankly disgraceful," the judge stated. "You made a complete nuisance of yourselves and became aggressive when you were asked to leave."

Addressing the impact of the nationwide ban on their daily lives, Judge Austin warned: "I recognise your social life is going to be significantly curtailed, but that's the punishment, so don't take any chances."

McKeown and Sumovskaja, both from Bournemouth, had pleaded guilty to criminal damage and affray.

Prosecutor Tara Olney informed the court that the hotel had suffered significant reputational harm alongside the physical destruction.

The owners estimated total costs at approximately £4,000, encompassing clean-up expenses, damage control measures and refunds issued to guests.

A negative review posted by one guest following the incident had resulted in lost future bookings, while both receptionists involved missed several days of work due to emotional distress. Staff morale across the establishment was also adversely affected.

The court heard this was not an isolated incident for the pair.

Just five weeks before the hotel rampage, Sumovskaja and Orchard had attacked three nightclub staff members after being ejected for excessive intoxication.

Two months prior to that, the same duo reportedly assaulted a taxi driver before fleeing without paying their fare.

A third woman involved in the incident, 21-year-old Jasmine Orchard, received a more lenient outcome.

Magistrates dealing with her case in January accepted she had played a "minimal role" and caused no criminal damage.

She was given a 12-month conditional discharge for using threatening or abusive words or behaviour and ordered to pay £111 in costs.

James Diamond, representing McKeown, told the court his client was appearing before judges for the first time.

He cited her mental health conditions and neurodiversity, stating that alcohol had influenced her behaviour alongside being "young and foolish".

Mark Hensleigh, acting for Sumovskaja, described her as vulnerable with a difficult school history and mental health struggles.

She was additionally ordered to complete 15 rehabilitation activity days and 12 mental health sessions.
